Chapter 360 Entering the Dynasty
When the wind and waves are calm, the sea is always the most beautiful. The sea breeze gently stroked the waves, making the blue fluctuate slightly in the wind. The gentle singing sound of the ship and the singing of the seabirds make people feel as if everything is still in a peaceful and peaceful life, and there is no way to see how dangerous the future will be.
Winters has enjoyed his life for five years. Go to work, get off work, and then go fishing in nearby parks and nearby rivers. He enjoys this kind of life very much, but the hustle and bustle of the city makes him a little uncomfortable, but compared with the war, this is the best time. But now he has embarked on a road to war again.
"Dick! I can't find you in your room!" Lieutenant Colonel Hellig went to the deck and walked towards Winters, who was looking at the afterglow on the deck. "I think the best way to find an officer who doesn't drink or gamble is on the deck. Sure enough--" Hellig said to Winters in a relaxed tone.
Winters put his hands on his chest, then looked sideways and said with a smile, "I thought the drinking officer would not go on the deck. It seems that I made a mistake." He saw a bottle of wine in Hailige's hand and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"In the face of the sea and people who don't drink, there may be another different taste!" Hellig smiled and stood beside Winters, "I know what you're thinking. After leaving the army for so long, have you found some feelings? Or, you still can't forget the brothers of E Company?
"Maybe!" Winters nodded and said, "I didn't want to join the war, but I still received the order. Now I can only go to North Korea alone. Life is really wonderful. The more you want to get, the farther away you will be; the more you want to avoid, the more you can't get rid of it. Moors, if the 101st Airborne Division had not been disbanded, maybe I would have been in the army for five years!"
Heiliger nodded and said, "I think Les's departure is the same as you." Then he took a sip of wine, and the bottle was empty. Heilige threw the bottle into the sea vigorously, just like Nixon and Winters did on the boat when they came back from Germany. Watch the wine bottle fall into the sea and then rise and fall in the waves.
"Sbier also came to North Korea." Hellig leaned his hands on the side of the ship, and then looked down at the waves splashed by the ship. "He is the company commander of the 187th Regiment. Maybe you will have good cooperation!" He has always served in the army! I just learned about him recently. He seldom contacts people, and of course I seldom contact my brothers because of my work!"
Winters nodded and said, "Yes, maybe we will be together, but what does it matter? We always have to go to the battlefield. We are still airborne soldiers, and finally we have to jump down from the air.
The two of them were talking when they suddenly heard someone coming towards them. The two couldn't help looking back. It was Hevron, Toy and Hooborough. Hefran was dressed in a lieutenant's uniform. The three of them stood in front of Winters and saluted him.
"Have a rest!" Winters smiled, raised his hand to salute, and then stretched out his hand and shook hands with the three of them one by one. "I'm so glad to see you. This is a veteran from Tacoa!" Hevron, a lieutenant officer, is very good. And Joe, Hubler, God, this is our first meeting in five years!" Winters patted the three on the shoulder and then said with emotion.
Toy laughed and said, "Of course, Lieutenant Colonel Winters. We all followed you out of Tacoya. Of course, except for Hefron, he was a supplementary soldier, but no one thought that he would become a lieutenant and lieutenant colonel. We heard that you had been good for five years, which is really enviable. To be honest, I now doubt whether my decision to stay in the army is correct.
"Joe, say you're here. Of course, he heard what Lieutenant Colonel Hai Lige said, so we came out to try our luck! An officer who doesn't drink or gamble is not staying in the dormitory, it should be on the deck!" Hubler smiled and said, "So we came over. Unexpectedly, we were really lucky!" After five years, they have spoken to each other and have added more affection in respect, and reduced the difference between superiors and subordinates to a minimum, thus appearing more casual.
"It's exactly the same, Mous. It seems that you have reached a very tacit understanding over the years!" Winters smiled at Heiliger. Obviously, he was referring to what Hubler said, which was almost the same as what Heiliger said. "Maybe you all know me too well!" With that, he shrugged his shoulders and became helpless.
"We heard that you have returned to the 101st Division, but now it's just a reserve force. Is it the 506 regiment? Toy tried to Winters, "I hope that the E Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 506th Regiment can exist again. To be honest, it's really a little difficult to forget that part."
"No, Joe, the 506 regiment doesn't exist." Winters sighed, "I'm going to work as a battalion commander in the 187th Regiment in North Korea. The only active regiment of the 101 Airborne Division, is this my luck or my misfortune? Winters looked at the fall of the sea and said, yes, now the brothers are still the same affectionate, but they always feel that something is missing.
"There are still some brothers in the special forces, but we have gone a lot in the past few years. Now we are the only ones who can stay in the army." Lieutenant Colonel Hellig looked at Winters with a gloomy look and said, "Even if Cobb and Pyconti are injured, it is estimated that they will leave the army after recovering from their injuries. By the way, Dick, have you heard from other brothers? Or have you contacted them?"
Winters turned around and drove on the side of the boat. He looked at them and nodded, "Yes, I have been in the chemical factory in New Jersey with Nick. I am his HR manager. To be honest, I enjoy life there. I have been in touch with Les. Of course, there are several brothers, such as Harry. I attended his wedding. God, he really kept the parachute by his side and made a wedding dress for the bride Betty. I don't know why. He doesn't have to do it at all. At least he is a rich man! Uh-huh - and Pip, do you know what he's doing? I'm building a bridge, and I'm living a good life. I'm married! Of course, Broy called me. He is now a postman, and of course, and Red teaches at Passo Robles Middle School in California, and he does a good job!" Speaking of this, Winters took a deep breath and said, "That's it, and I don't know where they are? Maybe everyone's life will be different!"
"We all know that the boss is an instructor at West Point!" Hubler suddenly interrupted, but it was obvious that he realized that it was a little inappropriate to call Parks the leader in front of Winters, so he closed his mouth!
When Winters noticed his expression, he couldn't help shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands to show that he had no objection. In fact, when he was in the second battalion, he knew that the brothers of Company E called Parks the leader in private.
"Yes, I haven't seen him for a long time in the past few years. I heard that he is now opening a company, but he didn't say what he was doing, and I didn't ask. We are now limited to contact by phone and letters." Winters smiled, "I always want to organize a group party for the E Company brothers, but it's always a bad time, and I don't know where they are!"
"That's a good idea!" Hellig immediately agreed, "To be honest, after this war, I will leave the army. I have lived enough life in the barracks. I thought there would be no war, but such troops will fight from time to time. To be honest, Dick, I'm a little tired of it!"
"Who is not?" Winters nodded and said.
Several people were not talking. They looked at the sea and then listened to the sound of the sea. Suddenly, Toy turned his head and asked, "Lt. Colonel Winters, maybe we can try what you said. We invite our brothers to a party. Maybe we can contact. The brothers of Company E used to have contact addresses. We can Look for it!"
"I agree!" Hubler raised his hand, and then Hefran also raised his hand. Winters shrugged his shoulders at Heliger, and the two of them raised their hands at the same time. Yes, all the brothers who had served in the E Company wanted to know how each brother was doing. They spent the years of war together, and they also wanted to share the beautiful things in peace together!
They are several veterans of the E Company reunited, so they often gather together when sailing on the sea, and then chat, talk about the days of the E Company, and the days after the separation. Winters said most about some interesting things about life between him and Nixon in the factory, while Hai Lige and others are more It's about life in the barracks. And E-connection is the most common word in their conversation.
When they went to North Korea together, the Korean army won the festival. After capturing Seoul on June 28, they occupied Daejeon on July 20, and Mokpo on July 24, and Jinzhou on July 31. The Han [***] team and the U.S. military were forced to retreat to Busan. At this time, the U.S. 25th Division received an order to defend the southern defense line and should not retreat. The Korean People's Army has occupied 90% of the land on the Korean Peninsula and 92% of the population. On August 6, General MacArthur met with other senior officers in Tokyo and persuaded others to implement the high-risk Incheon landing plan.
At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Winters and members of the Black Panther Special Forces landed in North Korea smoothly. At the port of Busan, the transport ship slowly approached the dock, saying that some soldiers and officers began to walk down the gangway. At this time, Busan was completely out of a wartime city. From time to time, military vehicles were full of U.S. troops or South Korean troops sped by on the road. After they got off the ship, there were trucks parked on the edge of the port and several jeeps on the other side. A lieutenant officer next to one of the jeeps came towards Winters.
Winters was talking to Heliger, Heffron, Toy and Hubler. He heard someone shouting loudly: "Late Colonel Winters!"
Winters turned around and looked at the lieutenant and said, "Do you know me?"
"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel, there are not many people who don't know you in the 101 Airborne Division! I used to be a veteran of the 101st Division, but we are not a regiment!" With that, he saluted Winters, "I'm here to pick you up. The 187th Regiment is now in the resting stage. The regiment is located on the other side of Busan, only more than 20 miles away from the front line. Of course, Jin Yicheng's shells can't be hit there now!" With that, he went to take out Wintes' luggage.
"It seems that we are going to break up!" Winters and Heiliger gave a hug, then hugged the other three one by one, turned around and left. At this time, someone was shouting the people of the Panther Special Forces to board the truck.
He Lige stood there, watching Winters' jeep gradually leave his sight, then turned around, patted Hefron's arm and said, "Let's go, man, the war is about to begin again!"
